Yes, it is possible to add a Sumo amplifier to a Denon AVR (Audio/Video Receiver) system. The Denon AVR is designed to be the central hub for audio and video processing, providing amplification and routing signals to speakers and other audio devices.
To add a Sumo amplifier to your Denon AVR system, you can follow these general steps:
1. Determine the audio output options on your Denon AVR: Check if your Denon AVR has preamp outputs, which are typically labeled as "Pre Out" or "Main Out." These outputs are used to connect external amplifiers like the Sumo amp.
2. Identify the input options on the Sumo amplifier: Check the inputs available on the Sumo amplifier. It should have an input that matches the output from your Denon AVR. The most common connection is RCA, but there could be other options like XLR or optical.
3. Connect the Denon AVR to the Sumo amplifier: Use appropriate cables to connect the preamp outputs of your Denon AVR to the inputs of the Sumo amplifier. For RCA connections, you will need RCA cables with male connectors on both ends. Make sure to match the left and right channels correctly.
4. Configure the Denon AVR: Once the connections are made, you may need to configure the Denon AVR to use the external amplifier. Check your Denon AVR's manual or menu settings to disable the internal amplifier for the connected speakers. This will ensure that the AVR sends the audio signal to the Sumo amp instead.
5. Set up the Sumo amplifier: Follow the instructions provided with the Sumo amplifier to set it up correctly. This may involve adjusting gain levels, selecting input sources, and configuring any other settings specific to the Sumo amp.
6. Test and enjoy: Once everything is connected and configured, test the system by playing audio through your Denon AVR. The audio signal should be amplified by the Sumo amplifier and sent to your speakers, providing enhanced power and performance.
It's worth noting that the specific steps and options may vary depending on the models of your Denon AVR and Sumo amplifier. It's always recommended to consult the user manuals for both devices and, if needed, seek assistance from an audio professional or the manufacturers' support teams for detailed guidance tailored to your specific equipment.
Has the Denon got a magnetic cartridge pre-amp built in? A good indication that it has will be if has a dedicated socket for a record deck. Connecting it to a tape or aux will only work if you purchase a separate Magnetic Cartridge pre-amp.
you need another reciever/amp to power that sub, because that denon reciever is designed for a powered sub,. if you have another old reciever/amp laying around, you can connect the sub out from the denon into an auxillary input of any old reciever/amp, (switched to that input) with speaker wires from old reciever/amp to the passive sub
You don't mention which AR amp we're talking about.
I think you're trying to say you want to know where to extract the front channels from the Denon to feed the AR amp. Right?
That would be an output on the Denon to an input on the AR.
Basically, take an RCA cable pair from the Denon's Pre Out F & L and connect them to the (presumed) L & R inputs on the unnamed amp.
Set the AR amp at a reasonably high volume (if it has a volume knob) and leave it alone. Run through the speaker level adjustments on the Denon to match the Front to everything else and it will control the volume going forward.
I cannot access the setup menu on the unit display or via the s-video monitor out -- everything was working fine a few days ago. I have reset micro, unplugged all night, reset again, and still cannot get to the menu in order to correct connections, esp for digital. My problem is on the avr5600 but seems like this happens on many of the denon units
You have to also connect the audio from the devices to the Denon. Unless you are using HDMI I would use the Denon as the audio / video switcher and the plasma as a monitor only (video lcable from Denon to plasma or you can connect all your devices to the plasma audio / video and use the audio out from the plasma to an input on the Denon (Aux, Video or VCR
